Ukraine has maintained its leading position as the world's No. 1 sunflower oil exporter during the 2019-2020 marketing season, which ran from September 2019 until 31 August 2020.

Ukrainian sunflower oil exports grew by around 10% year-on-year during the current annual cycle to reach 6.68 million tons, according to data released by Ukraine’s National Sunoil Producers Association on 10 September.
